Last Hope || Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 25

**Jacobs POV**

I couldn't stop thinking about the way Emily kissed me. It was easily the best kiss id ever had, not that I've had many to compare it too...

But the way she made me feel was indescribable.

We walked back into the diner, I eagerly looked around to try and find Matt.

"Jacob" a frantic voice called from behind me. I spun around to see who it was even though I already knew it was Matt.

Matt glanced down and saw Emily and I were standing hand in hand and Matt smiled unconvincingly.

He looked uncomfortable but I guess I would be too if I was basically a third wheel.

"Matt, this is Emily, my girlfriend." The words were sweet on my lips and they were true. She was my girlfriend. She was mine and it was the most satisfying feeling.

They shook hands and did the usual awkward social edict "hi" and "how are you" kind of stuff.

Emily had the most beautiful smile, it's contagious. I couldn't help but notice it when she talked. She was one of those people who smiled even when it was a fake one.

Matt seemed kind of strange and uncomfortable around Emily which is out of character for him...

"Dude, you okay?" I asked him low enough so know one else (like Emily) heard. He nodded, but I didn't believe it...

I didn't understand how he could look so down, he should be happy that he's back in town and we're together again.
Just like the old days.

We've spent so much time together, so many memories.
He genuinely was like my brother.

I shook it off anyway. Now wasn't the time, id ask him what was wrong again later.

I just have been in my own world in my mind for a while. Everything in my life was finally coming together.

I felt Emily touch my shoulder she asked me what we were going to do now.

"Matt" i said with a questioning tone "what would you like to do now?"

He looked at me looking deflated, like all the happiness we experienced earlier was gone...

"Nothing" he matter of fact stated.

I was taken back. He seemed angry at me which aggravated me. He's probably just jealous I have someone else who makes me happy...

He abruptly said goodbye and he was tired and leaving blah, blah, blah.

I was hurt and confused. I decided it was time to go home then.
